0:29.2	You are listening to Radical with David Platt, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from
0:34.8	pastor, author, and teacher David Platt.

1:07.7	Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, how hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.
1:20.6	The disciples were amazed at his words, but Jesus said again, children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God.

1:49.4	I tell you the truth, Jesus replied, no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or

2:02.5	mothers, children, and fields, and with them persecutions and in the age to come eternal life.
2:09.1	But many who are first will be last and last first. God, we pray that you would help us.
